CDF-NY Economic Mobility

Economic mobility is a cornerstone of opportunity and well-being for children and families in New York State, particularly for those facing the challenges of poverty. We enthusiastically support New York Can End Child Poverty and CPRAC in their goal to expand vehicles like the Empire State Child Tax Credit and cash assistance programs to provide critical support to families striving to achieve financial stability and create sustainable futures. CDF-NY emphasizes the importance of policies that prioritize economic equity to reduce child poverty and improve long-term outcomes in health, education, and economic security to ensure that every child has the resources to thrive and build a bright future.
